goal: ACHIEVED!!!

i have figured out how to make friendship bracelets people!!!! yahooo!!! be proud of me, i've been wanting to make these things for years. and after watching hours of different youtube videos and reading all kinds of how-to pages on google, my dumb ass has figured it out!! yay! i'm thinking of throwing a few of them into the bracelet sets that i've been working on. i think that they'll be a nice addition. so keep a look out for some new things up in our shop! that's in for me today folks. sorry i've been so quiet recently, been in kind of a funk and attempting to get my head out of it. i really think its just the weather. i'm much happier in the summer. do any of you ever get down in the winter months??? what do you do to get out of it?

an art show.

if ya'll were wondering why the hell i've been to quiet and crytic. this is it. i've been busting ass trying to prepare for my first show. i've been painting like a mad woman so i can get everything done by Feb. 2, the date of the show. so far i think i've got about 10-15 pieces, some older pieces with a few brand new pieces thrown in. SO! if you're in the area, stop on by. i would love to see you and i want to share my awesome night with my buds. i'm super excited, yet completely terrified to be doing this, but i think it should be a great evening. i've got some of my best friends going to be there and i think with them by my side, i'll be good! and as soon as i finish up the last pieces for the show, i'll post some photos of them on here. and hopefully i'll be able to get some good photos from that night, so i'll be sharing those also. hopefully. wish me luck, you guys!!!! <3

working on some goals!!!

hey friends! so if your wondering what the hell i'm doing posting this video- check out this post. one of my goals was to learn how to make friendship bracelets and this is the pattern i'm going to be trying first. i've always loved friendship bracelets but never learned how to make them, then last year i asked amanda to make me one and it took her almost 6 months to get it to me! so i figured i should learn how to make my own to avoid this problem! once i figure this out-i don't think it'll be too hard- i'll post my results!

also, on the subject of goals...another one of mine was to paint and finish 10-15 new pieces of art! well, i've already got 2 completely finished and 1 in the works!! AND i've got something awesome that i'll be sharing with you guys this week! one of the pieces i was working on, i stopped at every significant point in the painting process and took a photo. the progression is kind of neat, so i'll be posting that sometime this week too!!

in addition to all this fun, i'm hoping to introduce you to the new sponsors soon! they're a great bunch and i'm very excited to show them off! well, that's it for me today. i'm sorry i've been kind of absent recently, i've been preparing for something kind of big! take it easy folks, hope your week is going well!!! <3
